Life in the I’m A Celebrity camp looks to have been too much for Gemma Collins once again. The GC starred in series 14 of the ITV contest in 2014 and lasted just three days.
Despite being in camp longer this time around the former Towie favourite has been struggling to come to terms with her surroundings and the brutal challenges that she has faced. And on Thursday’s episode, it appeared to be the final straw.
A downbeat Gemma was seen at the close of the show’s sneak peek at tomorrow evening appearing to quit again. She told the cameras: “I’m A Celebrity get me out of here. I am done.”

She looked to be in tears again as a stunned Scarlett watched on. It left fans pondering if she had actually walked again, or if it was another low moment for the reality TV star.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one user said: “Hope Gemma doesn’t go from that clip! I need misery guts David gone before anyone else in camp!”
Another pleaded: “Oh Gemma don’t do it!!” And a third said: “What a suprise gemma quitting…. NOT! Just like she did the last time she was in except she lasted long.”
A fourth insisted: “refuse to believe Gemma is actually gonna go, they wouldn’t of spoiled it like that. Would they?”
It came after she almost missed out on food due to a mistake in camp. Gemma admitted it was a small dish she was given, but it was “tasty”.

And she also had a dig at David in Thursday’s events, telling him to “eat humble pie”. The remark was in regards to the challenges, with David and Craig being chosen to take part in the Retching Ball.
On Wednesday, viewers watched as she broke down when chatting with Adam Thomas.
She admitted to her pal: “I’m alright, I feel alright mentally, it is just hard. I can’t wash properly. I can’t have anything nice. Ive got to wash up every f**king five minutes.
“I am not used to this. It’s not f**king me.” Gemma managed to compose herself and got on with the tasks at hand in the South African camp, but Adam’s efforts to cheer her up weren’t lost on viewers. One user gushed: “And this is why Gemma didn’t cope in the jungle the first time.. at least she’s having a sense of humour in her sadness. Adam is a gem.”
Another added: “Adam looking after Gemma. He’s an absolute gentleman. And Gemma girllllll you are doing so welllll, so well.”
